This reply is a little late, but I've been away from my computer for a while. I am getting ready to build my fuselage this summer, and this last year we built a mock-up of the cockpit area. What I plan to do is build it the standard width of 24", but I am using the long fuselage plans, and am keeping the fuselage the full width to the rear seat back. I then start the taper at that point. That gives about 2 more inches of width at the pilot's shoulder.The cockpit seems plenty roomy to me (I am 5' 10" and about 230 pounds).

I have already put my fuselage together and it is two inches wider than plans. I really like the shape of the fuselage and it is plenty roomy. I am now trying to figure out a way of making a full width front bench seat and still have room to use the rudder bar under the front seat.

Snow is very tricky and can be dangerous. I have done a lot of flying thru snow and there are two main problems. The first is obviously having it stick to the wings and prop. I don't think given the type of plane you are flying you will be going out in those conditions. This is the season for snow showers, kind of like the Florida rain showers where you can often bob and weave around them. The main question is landing in snow. Don't attempt landing on an un plowed runway Airports in snow areas are very good at clearing but you need to know conditions in advance. Ask the tower for braking action reports. ATIS usually has that. Snow patches are often packed on a runway, ice is the worst. Especially in cross wind landings and takeoffs. Planes to slide of the sides of runways occasionallly. Its not the snow depth on the ground, it's the clean up. Colder is better. If the day temp gets to almost thawing and late in the day melting snow re freezes making very slick surface.

Conditions were ideal for formation of carb ice and there is no doubt that this was the cause of the engine roughness. Application of full carb heat did not smooth it out enough to maintain flying speed or altitude and a precautionary landing was attempted in the only available field within miles (and very little gliding range from that altitude). The landing was successful but the rollout, in an unimproved field, collapsed the landing gear at a fairly low airspeed (broke a fitting on one of the shock struts, leading to collapse of the other). The airplane dropped to its belly, the air intake and leading edge of the firewall dug in, the airplane gently nosed over and ended up on its back. Charlie unhooked the harness, got out, and walked away, there was no fire, the engine was stopped during final approach so the prop was horizontal and no damage whatsoever to the engine itself or the prop. Photos and a more complete report will follow, but here it is in a nutshell: the Pietenpol is a strong airplane! No damage whatsoever to the wings, horizontal stabilizer, elevator, or almost all of the fuselage. Lower cowling is bent, carb is ruined (but I have another), air box will need reworking, gascolator mount ditto (the carb and gascolator were what nosed into the ground and flipped the airplane). There is sandy loam (DIRT!) pretty much all inside the cowling from when the airplane dug in, mixed with dry grass. The forward cabanes are bent and will need to be replaced, from the rollover onto the wing. Leading edge of the vertical stabilizer is cracked (again, from the rollover and drop onto the tip of the VS) and will have to be replaced and the VS recovered. EAA 35 members will be called on heavily to pitch in with the repairs and I'm sure they will rise to the occasion! ELT activated upon impact but until we thought about it and shut it off two days later (Saturday), nobody called or showed up. Makes you wonder what would have happened if somebody was dying, laying in the snow on a mountainside. Also makes you wonder why the FAA makes us pay for these things when they are of no use, but maybe why they are obsoleting the VHF units in favor of UHF. Corky: the seat belt and shoulder harness worked to perfection. So did the ELT mounts and everything else. Post-script: after flipping the airplane back over and temporarily bracing the main gear legs with some electrical cable so it was steady on its legs, the trip through town on a flatbed trailer was thought to be part of a Veterans' Day parade and everybody waved as the plane rolled slowly by on its way to the airport. The airplane is extremely popular with people and nobody even noticed that the airplane was injured. Corky: please don't kill me. I promise that none of this is a reflection on your building skills, your airplane, or anything having to do with Louisiana. The airplane will live to fly again, and it will have a more robust carb heat knob and control, as well as a very positive verification of adequate temperature rise through the carb heat muff even if it means that I take off the muff and wrap door springs around the exhaust pipes or stuff the muff with coarse steel wool. There was just not enough carb heat, maybe 100 degrees on runup. All the parts for a proper system are there, but the carb heat really needs to warm that air! To those of you on the fence about carb heat: (an old Mexican proverb:) "el golpe avisa". Roughly translated, "the blow teaches a lesson". News at 11, plus pictures. Sigh. I still have not flown my airplane. However, it could have been worse: I could have had my grandson up with me...! Happy Thanksgiving, friends, and I'll keep y'all informed as we get into the repairs. I think back to the many test flights that Mr. Pietenpol had in his prototypes, the number of times that he found out "the hard way" what worked and what didn't, and it's really no big deal to fix the airplane and get back out there again like he did time and time again.
